Antique Extra Large Wrought Iron & Glass Entrance Lantern Pendant Light, ca 1890
Located in Lisse, NL
Truly impressive and large, former gas lantern made into a single-light pendant.
If you are a collector of truly amazing antiques then this large and possibly unique lantern could be flying your way soon. With antique light fixtures as one of our specialities, we have never seen a lantern of this design and with these details. Let alone one of this amazing size and beauty and the stunning patina makes this unique antique even more beautiful. It is getting ever harder to find all handcrafted antique fixtures of this age and because of the quality and quantity of the details we are convinced that this amazing specimen was originally made for an entrance of a large and impressive country house or mansion. The handcrafted, tiles roof and the brass finial at the bottom are some of the other stylish design elements. In our view this is the ideal antique light fixture / lantern for an porch or entry hall. All four glass panels too are in very good condition and both with the light switched on and off this former antique gas light...

Vintage, New and Antique Lanterns
Whether you’re in search of a functional fixture to help illuminate a room or just a minimalist ornamental touch, the choice of lighting is important. Selecting the perfect vintage, new or antique lanterns can transform an otherwise monotonous space in your home.
In the 1700s, lanterns became widely popular when accessibility broadened for whale oil, as fuel for lamps was one of its earliest uses. Lantern design evolved considerably during the mid- to late 19th century, when a powerful, adaptable fuel came into play: kerosene. Portable and immediately sought after, kerosene lamps were traditionally surrounded by a glass globe or tube that sat on a metal frame to protect the flame from spreading or extinguishing. (While reproductions abound, antique kerosene lanterns have since become collector's items.)
Later, in 1862, John H. Irwin created coil oil lamps, which were designed for coal oils as well as kerosene and lessened the risk of fire. They required plentiful oxygen to remain lit, and with refinements, the lamps could be used indoors. Lanterns increasingly came to be part of commercial spaces such as museums and theaters, and over time, lighting artisans worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they weren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.
Antiques inject a touch of classical chic into any space. With the right lantern, you could also deepen the impact of the collection of vases and vessels, sculptures or other decorative objects in a living room or dining room. It’s essential to find a balance between utility and aesthetics when choosing the perfect vintage–style lantern for your space, and the right lighting decisions can determine the underlying mood of a room as well as enhance the choices you’ve made for your home’s decor. While old-time charm is something to be cherished, there is lots to love in modern lanterns from today’s top furniture designers.
On 1stDibs, search by creator to find lanterns crafted by the likes of Woka Lamps, Barovier & Toso and Material Lust or browse the collection by style. From today’s standouts to mid-century modern classics to Art Deco–era innovations, find the best vintage, new or antique lantern for you now.
